Get your jets a runnin' Get out on the space way! Lookin' for adventure, An' whatever comes our way! Like a true machine's child, we were made, made to be wild, We can fly so high, we're never goin' to die!

Disaster strikes: I knew the propeller shaft, which is merely an extension on the left half of the fuselage, was likely to break. Why I didn't plan for this … There is nothing to anchor a replacement shaft until the instrument panel. So I installed a "firewall" … to support the other end...

I think the problem is that there are no shadows, as well as highlight in the wrong places for sunlight.What you have here is a semigloss to glossy to almost flat "hole in the air." Most of the pictures I've see of the X-15, there was some difference, if only due to the angle of light. Later...

Beautiful build!

The odd thing here is that the effect works better with the eye than with the camera, which sees everything. The eye can be fooled.

I'm with you: I prefer to display model aircraft in their native element—the air! (Shocking, I know :eek:) So I have to either build display stands out of clear acrylic, or suspend them from something. If you hang it, make sure it's securely anchored. Without landing gear, they don't land well …

I used to use your method for all other paints except Vallejo Model Air (VMA). I've been using it for years, some of my bottles are almost 10 years old, and I've never had a single clog, or anything like what you are showing us. I'm also puzzled by the size of those particles, because VMA comes...

That is a very impressive finish! Very nicely done. Looking forward to seeing more of your builds!

I use Mercury Adhesives™, both their CA and accelerator, though most accelerators will probably work. For wing/fuselage anchoring, you might want to practice on scrap. You can also apply the accelerator to the wire and let it run down to the CA so you don't have to worry about timing. That way...

I've used medium viscosity CA with accelerator. Apply the accelerator to the wire where you want the insulator, or to the point on the fuselage or wing. Use a fine applicator for the one on the wire. You may have to build it up, which is why to use the accelerator. For insulators on the fuselage...

My current video project requires something wild. A space-motorcycle-jet-rocket-thing. Scratch building is so messy. Why do you think most of us build kits?:D
